    Loved both the format and the message in this poem. Short and to the point it's wording is frustrating in reminding of messages received where access is denied on line. Password changed, wrong user name, account disabled, no record of such account on and on access denied where one had been before. The fun stops. A pertinent and poignant write Tobani

    “To you, thanks I give for the jest.”
    It has a slightly formal, almost ceremonial feel compared to how we’d phrase it in modern languages; like something a toga‑wearing stand‑up comic might say after a clever punchline. “I thank you for the joke”🕊️🙏🏻

  • Jerry Reynolds

    Good write, Tobani.
    The master asked,
    "Why is the creator doing all of this?"
    The student said.
    "I do not know."
    The master replied,
    "Place fingers in your ears
    And close your eyes.
    When I clap open both at once."
    CLAP
    "Which is more fun?"

    I guess the most fascinating angle on this gorgeous beauty is how many times I've spoken it aloud to acknowledge that's what I/we are irresistibly staring down. After that, pardon et moi, I don't know any Latin, excepting "pig Latin: ig pay atin lay." Awesomely rendered with a disturbingly haunting and deadly poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

      • Cheeky Missy

        You likewise!!!

      • Tristan Robert Lange

        Exactly, Tobani! You’ve boiled it down to that blunt finality that hits harder because of its simplicity. The visual drop to “Game Over” seals it perfectly. Loved this one, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛
